Virtual Annual Meeting 2022

Once a year our St. Pete League membership gathers to vote on bylaws changes, budget, new board members, and most importantly, which issues we’ll champion in the year ahead. We need your vote! For continued health and safety, our meeting will be conducted by Zoom. Won’t you join us? The LWVSPA bylaws require that documents related to certain agenda items be distributed to members one month in advance of our Annual Meeting. This ensures that everyone has plenty of time to review the materials and get questions and concerns addressed ahead of time, if possible. Please follow the links below to find documents ready for you which will be presented at the Annual Meeting: Nominating Committee Recommendations – slate of candidates for Officer, Board Member, and Nominating Committee positions Budget Packet: Budget Information for Membership & Budget Narrative Proposed “Program” (advocacy team areas) Proposed Bylaws (with track changes) Meeting Agendas: 501(c)(4) League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Annual Meeting Agenda – Open the Annual Meeting – Vote to Adopt the Order of Business (Agenda) – New Business: – Vote to Merge 501(c)(4) with 501(c)(3) (League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area Education Fund) – Members of 501(c)(4) will now become members of the 501(c)(3) – Adjourn Meeting 501(c)(3) League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area Education Fund Annual Meeting Agenda – Open the Annual Meeting – Vote to Adopt the Order of Business (Agenda) – New Business: – Vote to Approve the Merger of 501(c)(4) with the 501(c)(3) – Vote to Accept the Members of the 501(c)(4) to the 501(c)(3) as a result of the merger – Presentation: State of the League – Presentations:  Making Democracy Work Award Virginia Burnside Award for Long-Term Service Long-Term Member Acknowledgement Rockstar Volunteer – Vote to Approve Annual Budget – Presentation: Bylaws – Vote to Approve Annual Program – Vote to Approve Nominating Committee Slate – Adjourn Meeting If, after reviewing the materials, you have questions or concerns, please relay them to the designated League leader: Nominating – email Keeley Sheehan, Nominating Chair Budget – email Gina Gallo, Treasurer Program – email Linsey Grove, President  You will also have the opportunity to ask and discuss during the Annual Meeting on April 30 via Zoom.  As a reminder, only dues-paying members will be eligible to vote during the Annual Meeting.  Registration is required for the Annual Meeting to allow for time to confirm, or remedy, an active membership.
